Yesterday as I was sitting sewing up some quilt scraps that were included in some scrap bundles I bought off Instagram, I was thinking about how I have a few blocks and such that are just sitting in my cupboard, and have been for at least a year. I was thinking about how I could pass them on to someone… Read More
